Abu dhabi: The General Secretariat of the Arab Gulf Cup Football Federation (AGCFF) has announced the postponement of the start of the 2025-2026 Gulf Club Champions League to 30th September, instead of the previously scheduled date of 16th September.
According to Emirates News Agency, the General Secretariat stated that the decision was made in response to a request from the tournament's sponsor.
